I am born and raised in the Tampa area. I am a huge Tampa Bay Lightning and Rays fan. My number one goal for each and every one of my clients is to help them achieve every goal that they have, and make sure that they are 110 percent satisfied and happy. I started selling cars because of one specific time that my mom was not taken car of at a dealership. Since then, I set out to make sure that not only her, but anyone that I personally took care of, would never have to endure that. I set out to be fast, fair, and efficient with a no pressure environment.

Jacob went above and beyond, the rest was sub par. They allowed the vehicle to go out the door low on oil...poor inspection of the vehicle to not notice this. Oil light came on 30 mins into my trip They allowed the vehicle to go out the door low on oil...poor inspection of the vehicle to not notice this. Oil light came on 30 mins into my trip home (ended up costing me 3hrs going back and etc). Now...please stop sending me request for reviews! More

Great experience buying my new F250. I bought 7 new trucks in the past 12 years from all different dealerships and I was always frustrated with the process of back and forth negotiations I bought 7 new trucks in the past 12 years from all different dealerships and I was always frustrated with the process of back and forth negotiations to get a fair price. That wasn’t the case with Elder Ford. I found my truck online, advertised price was the best among all the other dealerships within 400 miles search radius. I made my deal over the phone and picked up my new truck the next day. Very happy customer. thank you! More

Extremely Disappointed – A Cautionary Tale After several days of working with the sales team at Elder Ford, during which I repeatedly confirmed I would be using 0% financing (something I had already several days of working with the sales team at Elder Ford, during which I repeatedly confirmed I would be using 0% financing (something I had already secured prior to engaging), we finally came to an agreement on numbers and were moving forward to close the deal on my husband’s new vehicle. However, during the final walk-through and finance steps, a small discrepancy arose that required clarification. Jim from the finance team said he would consult with the sales manager and get back to us. The next day, after hearing nothing, I reached out only to be told the car had been sold to someone else—the very car we were actively closing on. I was completely stunned. They knowingly sold the vehicle while we were in the financing stage—something I find not only deeply unprofessional but incredibly underhanded. It feels like they used the opportunity to backtrack on our deal and chase a higher-paying offer. To make matters worse, they had another similar vehicle we would have considered, yet showed zero interest in continuing the conversation or salvaging the relationship. We were met with complete indifference and dismissal. This experience has left me both frustrated and disillusioned. I had hoped to leave with a vehicle and peace of mind—instead, I was left with a sense of betrayal and disappointment. I would strongly caution others to think twice before trusting Elder Ford with your business. More

Added $2250 onto my contract without telling me anything. Promised me the difference overnight. Never received the money. No customer support after sale. A real shame because their prices are good.
